Talking

Since you got your car, how many problems have you had, if any? Tell us about it!

A few minor annoyances, not problems:

1. All the chicks stare at me now, has a negative effect on the wife.
2. My head keeps getting slammed back into the headrest
3. smoke keeps coming off the rear tires
4. The slow people in the fast lane now move over when they see me coming
5. All the ricers and LS &Lt1 boys that used to try to run me in my 01GT now avoid me.
6. My face hurts from smiling

The service manager at the shop says this is normal, they have seen it many times with the 05, The fault is with me, I am an uncurable Stang Nut. I will have to learn to live with it I guess. If anyone sees a TSB on any of these let me know.

I've had problems with people in F-bodies and "Fast & Furious" cars (and even some older gen Stangs) driving immaturely/stupidly around me. I had a problem at Dorney Park in Allentown, PA when I walked out to the parking lot to find a red drink all over my car. I've also noticed faster-than-normal wear on my rear tires.

Other than that, nothing out of the ordinary.

Thats the same exact symptoms I was experiencing, the doc told me to give myself some octane to cure it. It only got worse...

Cheers mate

I've got all of the above, plus a transmission leak, and the strut mount TSB.

All taken care of though

Love it! I also like how my service advisor asks my permission to keep my car overnight if he absolutely needs to. They haven't had to, but it was kinda cool that he did that.

Satin Silver speaks for most of us! lol

But in addition, I have noticed these annoyance as well:

1. Money disappears from my wallet and ends up in aftermarket companies' accounts,
2. I am slowly starving to death, because eating is not allowed in my car.
3. I have developed a repetitive motion injury in my right foot.
4. My family has to PM me to talk to me.

Sample of a message from Don's family...

"Don..
Dad is really :notnice: . Mom is ready to you for taking your college savings and buying a "pulley :crazy: " whatever the heck that is. Im really worried about you, and havent heard from you in 12 weeks. I hope you are , but then again we wonder why we ever told you to get a darn muscle car. :bang: Anyway, We will talk to you later, or at least, call us when you have time. By the way, Dad hated it when you sent him this full-size poster to put in his room...
:bowdown: ...He said he would get back at you... :flame2:

Anyway, don't mean to you...goodnite Don!"

LOL... you might have me confused with someone much younger. I'm a 46-year old grandfather, and my kids are 14, 20, 22 and 28 years old. I'm spending their inheritance... haha!!

Do alot of people who have offroad pipes get fumes inside your cars? How about if you use stock cats?
